Gatherer   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Gatherer is an addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in World of Warcraft. It's main purpose is to track the closest plants, deposits and treasure locations on your minimap.

The addon does not track like a tracking ability does, rather it "remembers" where you have found various items in the past. It does this whenever you gather (perform herbalism, mining or opening) on an item, and records the specific map location in its history. From then on, whenever the item comes into range of being one of the closest 1-25 (configurable) items to your present location, it will pop up on you minimap.

When you view your World Map, you will also see the item locations marked on the particular map you are viewing there.

For more information, please visit us at http://www.gathereraddon.com/


INSTALLATION:
--------------
Extract the data to your "World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns" directory so that the "Gatherer" directory is a subdirectory of the "AddOns" directory.


USAGE:
--------------
Just use the game as normal.
When you gather things, they will appear on your minimap and your main map.
If you want to configure the addon, click the Gatherer configuration icon floating around your minimap frame or type /gather options.

Slash Commands
/gather minimap (on|off|toggle) - controls the minimap tracking functionality
/gather mainmap (on|off|toggle) - controls the world map tracking functionality
/gather dist <n> - sets the minimap tracking distance to this number of units. (in game yards)
/gather num <n> - sets the maximum number of items to display (default=20, up to 50)
/gather herbs (on|off|toggle) - select whether to show herb data on the minimap")
/gather ore (on|off|toggle) - select whether to show mining data on the minimap")

Databases for different characters

Is it possible to run a separate database for each character? I haven't seen any options for it.

I'd like to run one character's database that he shares with guild and friends, and another character that builds a database completely by himself.

Thanks

*edited for clarification*

Re: Lost Gatherer Database

Elodarian,

Look for Gatherer.lua within ..\WorldofWarcraft\WTF\Account\<YourWoWAccountName>\SavedVariables .

If you do not have that or whatever, you can always use the GathererDB from http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11707-GathererDBWoWHead.html .

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

I have a backup that is pre-3.1, so I am hoping to find out what the file name is so I can recover the DB from my backups.

What is the file name of the database?

If I recover this file, can I simply overwrite the existing current blank DB?

If not, how do import the older database?

EDIT= If there is somebody on Bloodhoof Alliance that would like to share their DB please send me an in-game email to Elodarian (79 Warlock). Or please contact me at Elodarian@aol.com

Thumbs down Problem with Display

Hi Nikk
both me and my wife use gatherer since we starting playing wow agine back in november 08. both mining and herbs.
however when we search after uploading DB> its kinda a pain that it shows all herbs and mines ect
could you put in a opention so. if you only wanna see mines in the list.
only shows mines ect
same for Herbs.
we always have the treasure turned off.. Personaly that just annoying ..
1 other point.

while in un'goro "Power crystals" are always over the top of mines.
even if you Untick the option in the config After talking with a friend of mine.
he said that "it may need a tick box for each colour crystal in order to filter them correctly"

i have for now manuly removed all the power crystals.
over 300 on both mine and my wife pc. took about 1 hour.. ><
If you could have a look at this would be Grateful
Oh and a support for the feature of "On demand" area loading.
would be very good. i have a friend who has low powered Laptop using gather tho helpful she cant use the DB. once loaded her memory usage max'ed and Wow crashes.
with only Catographa 2 and gatherer loaded in as addons.
(i dont know her spec but i know the feature would help her and others)

Thanks
Dennis

Gatherers,

We have uploaded 3.1.12, which is a sort of "quick" version that is meant to fix the biggest issue, Astrolabe support, while we can do some further testing on some minor enhancements, localization edits, and such will be along in the next week or so.

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

AddOns/UI guidance

Greetings All,

Since we have been asked- and to clear up any rumors that may be circulating...

Auctioneer, Gatherer, and Enchantrix all follow the guidelines published by Blizzard at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/policy/ui.html , according to our understanding of the policy.

We have never solicited donations in the actual game environment and have never, ever charged for our offerings.

We do request donations on our primary site, http://AuctioneerAddOn.Com , via the link in the upper right corner, from those who find our AddOns to be helpful. Those donations primarily help to offset the costs associated with our development environment; a couple servers and their Internet connectivity.

With a volunteer staff of about 30, usually 5-10 active at a time, spread in different parts of the world, such tools are indispensable to our ability to develop, test, and provide decent products.

All that said, the donations usually come out about even, with our primary Administrator, Norganna, making up the difference out of his family's bank account on the months that donations do not meet the monthly expenses. There are some rare months where donations exceed the monthly expenses, but that overage is needed to repay the "loans" from previous months.

Although some on the team would welcome the opportunity to make a living from development of such complex products, we currently release them under V2 of the GPL.

With such a diverse group, there are those who help as a way to "give back" to the world to those who are looking to polish their resume with some real world experience. As a whole, we do not begrudge those who have decided to depart from producing AddOns, due to what ever reason(s), and support any company's right to protect its property. This current period is quite interesting as numerous laws are being enacted and tested in different courts to determine the future of software development, and only time will tell.

Those who feel strongly, one way or another, should contact Blizzard and their elected officials, directly, and express their opinions. Demands, comments, or requests on websites only go so far, and most often not to those with the authority to make the desired changes. Luckily most of us live in areas where making such opinions known is not only possible, but encouraged.

We look forward to providing products that enhance our users' experiences, and our own, for now, and into the future. Should there ever be any internal or external decisions that do affect our products, we will endeavor to keep everyone informed, to the greatest possible extent.

In keeping with our usual spirit of openness, the new guidelines may affect the future of the AuctioneerDB program, which is in early beta status, but no decisions have been made, as of yet. We will post with more details, once they are available.

Happy Adventuring,

Nikk and the rest of the Norganna's AddOns family

Kuzah,

We do not provide plug-ins for any of the various data/button display frameworks. By default, Gatherer displays either via the minimap button or as an icon on the SlideBar menu, simply because those are within our control and do not change as the tide of public opinion switches from one "bar" type to the next. Nothing against any of them, have personally used Fubar and now LDB, but it is just a bit easier for us internally, with limited time.

That said, one of our users has recently created one for Titan, and Titan supports LDB functions- see http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...ngatherer.aspx .

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

Re: The HUD, Shapeshifting, and You

InParisWithYou,

Interesting, will look into this and see what we can do.

Happy Gatherering,

Is there a way to fix this so that the HUD does *not* get hidden when the druid shifts into flight form but *does* hide itself when the druid is not mounted? Either by making flight form = a mount or by making a "Hide HUD while shapeshifted" kinda deal?

While I love Gatherer, I have no use for the HUD. Fortunately, it is easily disabled.
